Mrs. John Rennie died last Saturday
morning after an eight weeks sickness.
The suddenness of her death casts a
gloom over all of her friends and has
quite broken the spirit of her husband.
She was the daughter Of Hon. Alex
McLane Of Fairlee and was greatly be-
loved and respected by all who knew
her. Her remains were taken to Fair.
lee on Wednesday for interment. We
sincerely hope that Mr.. Rennie will
not feel his bereavement SO deeply as
to lead him to leave the town where he
has so many warm friends.

Gen. Francis A. Walker does not
share in the anxiety which finds pretty
free expression in scientific and litera-
ry quarters, touching the spread of So
cialistic ideas. In an article to be pub
lished in the Forum for May he draws
a clear line of distinction between "the
socialists" the terrible fire eaters who
would wreck, pillage, and destroy all
and who are simply to be
treated with the club or the straight
jacket, or on occasion with the rope
and the advocates of form of govern
ment more or less socialistic, men who
believe that government is best en-
ployed in promoting in every fair and
feasible way, the good of the governed.
On Wednesday evening, April 9th,
the comrades of Washburn Post G.. A.
r., and the ladies of the Relief Corps
observed the siXty-fifth anniversary of
Gen. Grants birth, at their hall in a
very appropriate manner. The exer-
cises consisted mainly of remarks by
Rev. A. j. Hough, Rev. j. w. Lees,
Dr.. r. G. JENNIE of Corinth, B,
Pickett, Jr., and Gov. r. Farmland
The remarks were interesting au4 emf
and exactly suited to the oc-
casion. Our ministers entered very
fully into the spirit of the occasion.
The bugle call by Claf1in made the
blood of the old soldiers Jingle. After
the formal exercises the company was
served with hot maple sugar, and all,
both comrades and invited guests,
broke camp realizing that they had en-
oyed very pleasant occasion.
The town of Vershire has advertised
for sale for the non-payment of taxes,
4 large portion of the mining property
n Vershire, now in the hands of s. NJ.
Gleason as Receiver of the court. This
appeared to the Receiver as contempt
If court and by his counsel, ex-Gov.
Farnham, he applied to Judge Walker

he constable. This seemed all the
more necessary as the Receiver had adj
Vertised the property for sale, in ac-
,ordance with an order of the court of
,hancery, free of all incumberance.
But Judge Walker seemed to think the
necessities of the government and the
iced of revenue were paramount to
he dignity of the court and refused to
grant the injunction. He however adj
used Mr.. Darling, counsel for the
own, to have the tax sale adjourned
rom April 28th to May 25th, to give
he Receiver time to get an order and
from the court as to the
method of raising money to pay the
axes, which was accordingly done.
